OSX

Lloyd Smart — Wed, 02 Jun 2004 12:14:23 -0000

Hi. Should I be able to compile this on Mac OS X, or is it x86-only?
I know I can't use it to netboot OSX itself, but I want to use OSX to
host the image to netboot an intel machine. When I try to configure
on Mac OS X, it halts on "checking for i386 GNU assembler". If this
project won't allow me to use my Mac to netboot an intel box with
Linux, do you know of any other project that will? Many thanks for
any help.

On HowTo doc. page two, talks about

"This will not compile on a RedHat 8.0 machine,
in-order to get it to compile rename bcc file to
something else and try again."

Can explain in more detail, which bcc on what file he
is talking about.

Thanks,

PXE

Wolfgang — Tue, 12 Aug 2003 07:29:22 -0000

I have the following question.
My PCs mainboard has an integrated network-interface
which supports a PXE-Bootrom. I created a DOS-
Bootdisk Image with Netboot but I cannot load this
image. Is there a way how I can use Netboot to creat a
Dos-Bootdisk Image for PXE bootroms????

tftp problem

Shane Kennedy — Sun, 13 Jan 2002 12:51:09 -0000

Hi Y'all, Can someone help on a very basic problem please.
RH7.1 Server, provides dhcp OK, but client reports "Loading kernel",
then sleeps.
tcpdump on Server reports "udp port tftp unreachable (DF) [tos 0xc0]".

I have built several systems before, but cannot find the cause of this.

TIA
Shane

mknbi will not compile on Redhat 7.2

Steve Kiemeyer — Sat, 22 Dec 2001 19:14:38 -0000

I am attempting to install netboot V 0.9.1 on Redhat
7.2. Redhat 7.2 uses the glibc 2.2.4-13 library and
kernal 2.4.7-10.

The installation problem is with mknbi. Below is the
dump that occurs during "make install":

START DUMP HERE:

(cd ../include && make version.h) || exit 1
make[1]: Entering directory

END DUMP HERE

Everything else in netboot installs and functions, but
mknbi will not compile.

Can anyone help?
